reasons you should visit alaska. cruising is an incredibly popular way to do it, unpack once, and wake up in a new location every morning. alaska is incredibly popular right now, and that high demand is leading to more choices for travelers to plan the trip that's the best fit. after a 20-year hiatus, windstar cruise line returned to alaska last summer. with room for just a touch more than 200 passengers, you can have moments where you feel like you have the scenery to yourself.it's hard to take your eyes off of spots like aialik (i-alec) glacier, especially on active days when you can hear what sounds almost like constant thunder brewing, and watch as the
9:48 am
glacier calves and a piece of ice the size of a house drops into the water. windstar runs what they call signature expeditions, putting zodiacs, or small power boats, into the water, and zipping around folks interested in closer look. it's also a popular spot for harbor seals and for sea otters to care for their young, making it hard to decide just which way to look at times. ($170 per person) kayaking offers yet another way to change an already incredible view. this is tracy arm. we hit the water before 9am, safely navigating our way through shining icebergs. curious harbor seals would pop up from time to time to see what we were up to. safety is a top priority. along with a boat constantly nearby, there were two guides in the water with us, constantly evaluating

conditions and guests' abilities. they made it work for all levels of paddlers - what we were able to do and see made it and enjoyable experience for seasoned pros and beginners. ($175 per person anyway you see, or look at a glacier is impressive, but perspective change everything. mendenhall glacr favorite of mine because it's so easy to access. park the r walk, there it is, right

in front of you.but you can also arrive by helicopter, and go for a walk on top of it. layers are key on an adventure like this, but you don't have to worry as much about shoes. they'll give you special boots that fit right on top of your shoes, so you have better footing on the ice.. that reaches about 300-feet down from where you land. if you're thirsty, you can scoop up some tasty, clear water. yes, it is cold, so be ready for the cold hands that come after. it took me a bit of time to get feeling back, but i'm a wimp when it comes to cold. at $365 per person, this is a pricey couple of hours, but it is an adventure you'll be talking about - bragging about - for some time. when you get to skagway, the chosen mode of transportation should be the train. and you'll need your passport for this one, so be prepared. the white pass & yukon route
9:51 am
railway offers a number of train trips to choose from. most cruise guests roll across a nearly 28-mile stretch of track between skagway and fraser, british columbia .. as in canada. remember, i said you'd need your passport. you'll see mountains, waterfalls, maybe even the occasional bear. built in 1898 during the klondike gold rush, it took tens of thousands of men and 450 tons of explosives to complete. it made the switch from carrying freight to carrying tourists in the late 1980s (1988). there are cruise ships of all sizes in alaska these days. some folks like big ships, some like small ships. with just about 200 folks on legend, folks get to know each other. i developed a reputation for being late for dinner.. but i had a good excuse. because it seemed like dinner time was always when company came calling. orcas and humpback whales are another cruising perk..
